"remedy" is finally here

so it's been a few days since i last posted. basically i have been hanging out with the 3rd crowd, doing some midweek stuff, watched the gators really stink it up, went to a jv football game, spent tons of time with the little human we call ayla, and spent copious (great word btw) amounts of time listening, processing, feeling and being consumed by the new David Crowder Band release "remedy".

i pre-ordered directly from the band thinking i was ahead of the game and would get it on the release day or maybe even a day early. tuesday came along, i woke up and the first thing on my mind was that this was the day. the expectancy was palpable...i checked the office mail, not really remembering where i had it sent. no crowder at the office. i left work a little early just to check at home...took ayla out of the truck, dropped her directly in her crib (aka - the escape proof baby holder) walked to the mailbox hoping for some merriment to brighten my day only to have my hopes dashed at the sight of a box full of junk mail and no crowder goodness.

so jump past the long walk back up the driveway, the crushing disappointment...move past wednesday...and thursday. i checked in on the crowder site and myspace and xanga hoping there was some explanation to bring peace to my crumbling trust of the DCB, but no such luck. thursday night i even found myself in this space where i had not only a lack of interest in remedy, but an actual disgust and negative feeling about the whole thing. all the wind was gone...blasphemy!

along comes friday...i woke up and don't recall wondering if it would arrive. it is at this point that i have just realized as i write this that i must now let you down...it seemed as though this little journey through my sad obsession with the crazy haired man's new album might end up in a climactic and triumphant telling of the arrival of said album...the reality of the story is that i walked into the office, checked my mail and said "hey, the crowder cd's here..." i do have to admit that there was enough initial excitement that i actually danced a little jig right there in the office (not really that amusing to anyone present) and then I walked upstairs and began to listen and consume remedy, soon to be joined by my very ill friend dubs, who while helping me create a marble masterpiece proceeded to projectile sneeze, contaminating my arm with her infirmity. lovely.

anti-climactic...yes. an excuse to write a post on the b-log...barely. a good story...hardly. but remedy is here, the DCB has delivered (albeit a little late) and once again they have not disappointed nor forsaken their fans and fellow worshipers. the point...? go buy remedy, support the DCB, be moved and be the remedy...

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Oh surely we can change
Something

Oh, the world’s about to change
The whole world’s about to change

surely we can change, remedy - DCB
